**** YOU McDaniels

WORST ****ing play calling on long yardage situations in the entire league. I say this every game and it continues to hold true throughout every game.

I could give a $h!t less if our RB had a big gain there, there was no way he was getting a TD.

What a joke.

I didn't mind the playcall as much as I did the lack of follow through - kind of assumed if they got within 3 yards they'd stay aggressive and go for it on 4th.

Hope sox return the favor on their opening day.

 

[Its_The_Patriots]

I'm ok with 3 points, but I really wanted 7 points instead.

 

[Rob0729]

Gostkowski's kick offs have been lacking today.

 

[oldskool138]

Especially when you are, a FG is worthless

Yeah, okay.

 

[PATRlOT]

FG there is really stupid

Running instead of passing was stupid.

I would have been fine with a FG if we'd at least TRIED to pass the ball in there.

 

[Deus Irae]

It is a fair point Deus. Receivers open or not, Brady looks as decisive as we've seen in 2013. I wouldn't mind seeing a few more balls spread across the team rather than just Gronk. That said, he's open so throw it to him.

I'm still less than pleased with the OL. They're still spotty at best.

Amendola looks limited out there. It may be that way all season, with that type of injury. I hope not, but I'm reconciled to the possibility.

And why is that?

Re: Re: The Official Patriots vs Steelers game thread

Yeah, okay.

Sick argument

 

[Wrath Mania]

FG there is really stupid

...How?????

 

[FrodoBagginz]

Time for a turnover defense.

 

[Foxypats]

Alright lets stop them...no points on this drive please .....

How did they allow such a run ?

 

[Archeryaddict12]

We get a good offense and our D stinks. Ugh.

 

[SVN]

Defense no cheap scores please..I think steelers are now going to throw all over and not run much

It was a 3rd and 20 play. A draw was not a horrible call in field goal range. Getting a TD on that play was a low percentage play anyway. You run the draw and you might get the TD. At worst, you get better field position for the field goal.

 

[oldskool138]

Arrington runs into his own guy instead of covering that huge hole the guy ran through. Good job...

 

[PP2]

Neither Blount nor Bolden are 'bruisers'.

6'0 + 250 lb = bruiser.

 

[PatsBoy12]

Man, we really need to keep them out of the EZ.

 

[Uncle Rico]

You could really see it at the end of that last run. No next gear. Tough dude though.

Nice hold from the Steelers OL there.
